Some common ones could be 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. It's a story about a young couple who sacrifice their most precious possessions for each other, showing the true meaning of love and selflessness.
Well, in 1970, there could have been a wide range of short stories required in high school. Classics such as Mark Twain's short stories might have been part of the curriculum. His stories often have themes of adventure, morality, and the human condition. Also, some schools might have included short stories from Ernest Hemingway, like 'Hills Like White Elephants', which is a great example of his concise and impactful writing style. Another possibility could be stories from Nathaniel Hawthorne, known for his exploration of Puritan themes in works like 'Young Goodman Brown'.
You could try looking in old textbooks from that era. Sometimes libraries or second - hand bookstores have collections of old school textbooks. Another option is to ask older educators who were teaching in 1970. They might remember the short stories that were part of the curriculum.
